"Booked a table on line, which was easy enough. Arrived at the Windmill, the lady logged in to find our booking, which took a little while as the app kept logging her out, and it had ‘the longest ever password’ to log in her words not mine. Took our seats, and ordered our drinks via the app. After about 10 mins, the same lady asked if we were ok, we said we were waiting for drinks, she went back to the bar and retrieved our order and brought our drinks to us. Next round of drinks which again were order via the app arrived promptly. Next we ordered our mains. Medium rare 10oz stake, and a lasagna. Food arrived. Lasagna was very good. Not overpowered with tomato or garlic, very tasty. Hubby’s medium rare stake was overcooked making it a bit dry and lacking taste, but he didn’t want to wait for another to be cooked. Not once did anyone check with us how the meal was. During the meal we ordered another round of drinks, and waited patiently. The lack of drinks made a dry steak even less palatable. We finished the meals (well left half the steak) yet still no drinks. After 25 minutes I went to the bar to cancel the drinks and ask for a refund. After tapping many buttons, hey presto the order was located. There was much confusion over how to do a refund, and at one stage it was suggested that we may have to have cash and the staff member sort it later, but eventually it got sorted as a refund to the card. STILL NO ENQUIRY AS TO HOW THE MEALS WERE!!!!!! As much as I enjoyed the lasagna, I don’t think we will visit again. One member of staff was spending more time having a chat with the locals than checking on things. There were a lot of food orders being collected for delivery, I felt that these were being prioritised above the seated diners. I wish I could say the pub was busy, but it really wasn’t so there was no excuse."

"We ordered two meals from the meal deal. It took ages for the starter to arrive, we had to ask the waiter where it was. I had ordered hunters chicken for the main and when it came, I found it to be really salty, I thought it was the yellow/orange sause, so tried to avoid it, and realised that the red sauce was not BBQ sause, but a very runny (mainly tomato) bolognese sauce.So I complianed to the waitress, who then went ans spoke to our waiter, who told her that the chicken was alway with a bechamel sauce, but I could have more BBQ sauce if I wanted. I pointed to the menu that had no mention of bechamel sauce. Our original waiter came over and explained that they had a new menu and that the old menu had included bechamel and the kitchen were not aware of the menu change. He offered me a starter as compensation, I had already had a starter and did not want another. I ate the chips and onion rings, but the chicken was so awful, I left it. When I went to pay the bill, or original wait was no where to be found and we were left with a very nice young girl who had only been working there a week. She asked if we had been offered any compensation I said that we hadn't but felt we should have been, so she went to the kitchen to speak to our origninal waiter, who did not return with her, and she told us because it was part of the meal deal, that they could not remove any thing, and what we had would have been more expensive than removing the meal. So I ended up paying full price for a meal I did not eat! The customer service was terrible except for the new girl. The hunters chicken was not as described on the menu and unedible."

"I went here with my husband for a Saturday lunch on a 5pm big deal. I can't fault the place, it was delicious and I was a bit greedy and went for a third course. I had a prawn starter still in the shells), sea bass for main and a lovely apple and blackberry crumble with custard for dessert. Sometimes I think when you are on a deal you don't get the same service as other customers but this was definitely not the case here. The service was great as was the standard and choice of food. It was not a special menu for the deal but was one that you can get just walking in with no booking, great choice. The deal included a classic cocktail, again good choice and was pleased with the quality of the cocktail. The restaurant was quite quiet but still had a good atmosphere, wouldn't put me off going back at the same time. We went in to the bar after lunch for another drink. I will definitely be back for food and would even just drop in for a drink. Some restaurants advertise as restaurant and bar , the bar being a few stools at at the bar or a couple of tables stuck in the corner. They actually have a separate bar which is very nice, high glass ceiling. If I was being picky I would say that we waited quite a while for our dessert plates to be cleared as the waitress appeared to be on a break and the bar staff covered. Not a big deal for me. The overall experience feels like something special , a bit of a treat without being stuffy, I look forward to returning."
